Homeopathy Was No Better Than Placebo In Study

HealthDay News — The team at Australia’s National Health and Medical Research Council reviewed 225 studies and concluded that homeopathy is no better than placebo, ABC News has reported.

Studies that claimed homeopathy was effective were of poor quality, the investigators said. “From this review, the main recommendation for Australians is that they should not rely on homeopathy as a substitute for proven, effective treatments,” Council CEO Warwick Anderson, PhD, said, according to ABC News.

“This statement was the result of a rigorous examination of the evidence and used internationally accepted methods for assessing the quality and reliability of evidence for determining whether or not a therapy is effective for treating health conditions,” Anderson added.
